Borough Council of Wellingborough

Permitted Development Rights

Article 3 and 4

"Permitted Development" is a blanket permission, granted by Government regulations, to carry out certain minor types of development without the need to make a planning application to Council.

In certain circumstances, the Council removes Permitted Development rights:
Article 3 Directions take the form of a condition on a planning permission, which restricts further extensions, alterations or uses.

Article 4 Directions apply to a group of properties and often cover a large area, and are most frequently, but not always, used in conservation areas. They usually remove rights to make minor alterations to houses, including the replacement of doors and windows.

The Borough Council of Wellingborough does not have any Article 3 and 4 Directions.
